UNSTEADY MHD CASSON FLUID FLOW PAST AN OSCILLATING PERMEABLE VERTICAL SURFACE WITH NEWTONIAN HEATING AND THERMAL RADIATION

The present analysis explores the unsteady boundary layer MHD free convective flow of Casson fluid over an oscillating vertical plate immersed in porous media with Newtonian heating. The governing equations describing the phenomena are converted into a dimensionless form, and then solved by using the technique of Laplace transform, to obtain the exact solutions of velocity and temperature. The expressions obtained for velocity and temperature are explained graphically to identify the influence of different critical parameters. The variation of skin friction and Nusselt number under the influence of different physical parameters are presented in tabular form.
